Drewling Samantics
Drew and Sam are actors. They haven’t won any Academy Awards yet, and neither of them is in line to be the new James Bond (sorry Sam), but between them they do have over half a century’s worth of experience in the industry. Many months ago a combination of boredom, significantly reduced work opportunities (thanks pandemic!) and overactive and under-stimulated imaginations inspired them to create a podcast, and somehow they’re still at it. Join the Drewling Samantics chaps every Sunday (or download and listen later) as they give an entertaining insight into how their industry works - from modelling to voiceover, theatre to film, and television to streamed media, the gents talk about all areas of performance artistry, giving an insider view that is sometimes humorous, often eye-opening or poignant, and at times just downright strange! With regular guest appearances and the odd special ‘on location’ segment, Drewling Samantics brings something unique and fresh to the world of podcasts from two normal blokes, working in a rather abnormal industry.

Prizewinning Performance
As is the case with practically any kind of job or vocation, the people working in the entertainment industry can be a fairly temperamental lot at times. It’s probably not all that surprising, given the unpredictability of the career they have chosen, being so fraught with challenges and rejection at one moment, but then oozing with triumph and success at the next. It goes without saying though that the one thing enjoyed unanimously, is a little flattery and praise, and this is the time for just that, as we are in the full throws of awards season, culminating in the “big ones” this weekend. That, of course, means the Oscars - a glittering, star-studded, red-carpeted evening of praise and reward (as well as some inevitable disappointment) as the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences makes it choices and recognises those at the top of their game.
Though their nominations appear to have gotten lost in the post, Drew and Sam won’t be left out this weekend, and in today’s show take the opportunity to make some predictions, talk Oscars facts and records, and enjoy the build-up to one of the biggest film events of the year. Another great episode that is surely worth a listen, even if it’s just to see if the boys educated guesses match up to the decisions of those in prestigious positions, and/or (shocking as it may be to consider!) if you agree with them!
